Bags of dog waste hurled at LGBTQ+ center for youth

GOOGLE MAPS COMMUNITY service group Mi SELA in Bell could soon receive security cameras to deter vandals.

The source? Bags of discarded dog feces.

The center is a partnership between the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the Latino Equity Alliance and provides youth clubs, community-building workshops, and cultural and legal resources to the LGBTQ+ community of South Los Angeles. But recently, the center has seen a pattern of dog feces being thrown in front of and onto the awning of the building's entrance.
